Great Public Schools
for Every Child I am a graduate of the Providence public schools and my children attend our public schools, too. That’s why I will fight for safe school buildings and the resources every kid needs.

A City that Welcomes Immigrants
I know firsthand the challenges immigrant families face. My father told me, “Stand up for yourself.

About 1 in 8 Rhode Islanders were born in another country, and even a larger number are the children of people who came here. Undocumented immigrants have very real fears in our community. We need to do whatever we can within our jurisdiction to protect all of our residents. I see neighbors doing important work to build new bridges. I want to continue to encourage connections at a neighborhood level so that we can know one another and work together. |

Sound and Collaborative Fiscal Practices
Providence’s financial position is one of the most important challenges our city faces. And without sound leadership, we cannot move forward. It is important to acknowledge that the pension liability was not created overnight, and we will not be able to solve it overnight.
